I actually bought this a year ago on a very nice blu ray. I cannot remember why, and I haven’t motivated to watch it yet.
I only post movies on here that I have watched myself. ;) I think this is a really fun movie. Definitely one of Brian Trenchard-Smith’s better efforts.
I haven’t seen it but 5.8 on IMDB which is pretty high for a B movie so I’m going to give it a whirl at some point.
Saw it when I was a kid. Great movie! Glad to see it on here getting some notice.
Not as many car chase scenes as I thought there were be but it’s worth a watch.
I just watched it for the first time. I’m old enough to remember the cover art at the rental store. The face on the cover never makes an appearance. I was surprised to find out it’s an Australian movie and cast as I’m in NA and I saw it in multiple VHS rental stores as a kid back then. There are some noted parallels to current day political themes. It doesn’t hammer you over the head with it like today, but expects you to be smart enough to understand the message which is a breath of fresh air. I wonder what the historic Australian politics of that era was the basis for the references. The story is a basic “if you don’t like your situation then change it yourself”. I would give it a 7/10 for a B-movie.
To put it in context, there was a number of very upset racists in the 80’s and 90’s in Australia who were panicking about the increase in Asian migrants coming into Australia, and this movie would have come out in the thick of if, I love the commentary of this movie and pointing out how silly the racist arguments actually are.
